Description

The issue

When you backup your pfsense config, Include extra data is not selected by default which means that your pfBlockerNG configurations are not backed up. pfBlockerNG is a big part of pfSense and the end user needs to back these up but unless they knew this fact, their configurations potentially will be lost if they need to restore after an emergency.

There will probably be other plugins that need this setting enabled when doing a backup.

The solution

have Include extra data selected by default. It is better to have an end user turn this off because they don't need the data rather than a user not turning it on when they need it.
